Quiet Quitting or Setting Boundaries? Exploring the Changing Dynamics of Work-Life Balance



The Rise of “Quiet Quitting”: Disengagement or Healthy Boundaries?

The term “quiet quitting” has taken the internet by storm, sparking countless debates about work-life balance, employee engagement, and the future of work itself.

The rise of remote work, the gig economy, and the always-on culture fueled by technology have blurred the lines between our professional and personal lives. This blurring has led many to question the sustainability of constantly “hustling” and has paved the way for a re-evaluation of priorities.
